What Is The Treatment For Tingling Sensation In Hand?

I had MRI for advanced disc C5 & C6 spondolosis. Orthopedic surgeon after seeing the MRI referred me to Nero Surgeon for further treatment. I started doing home neck exercise as shown by physiotherapist. I feel my neck relaxed now, but occasionally get tingling sensation on my right hand (above the knee), and slight headache sometime. Kindly be advised how can i be treated for my condition.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and the MRI spine findings.

The initial treatment for cervical disc disease is medical and with physiotherapy.

Medications that can be used to treat tingling, burning and pain related to nerve compression in the spine, are pregabalin and gabapentin capsules.

In addition, physiotherapy with IFT, ultrasound and traction will help reduce the pain. Neck extension exercises would also help you.

While traveling, you should use soft cervical collar.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
